We investigate co-doping effects of conjugated P-N B-N with increasing of N concentration in the graphene sheets using a first principles based on the density functional theory. N doping sites of the graphene consider two possible sites (pyridinic and porphyrin-like). Energy calculation shows that additional doping of B atom in the porphyrin-like N doped graphene ($V+B-N_x$) is hard to form. At the low chemical potential of N, one N atom with additional doping in the graphene ($V+P-N_1$, $P/B-N_1$) has low formation energy on the other hand at high chemical potential of N, high concentration of N ($V+P-N_4$, $P/B-N_3$) in the graphene is governing conformation. From the results of electronic band structure calculation, it is found that $V+P-N_4$ and $P/B-N_3$ cases change the Fermi energy therefore type change is occurred. On the other hand, the cases of $V+P-N_1$ and N+B recover the electronic structure of pristine graphene.

Among various dopant candidates, nitrogen (N) atoms are considered as the most effective dopants to improve the diverse properties of graphene. Unfortunately, recent experimental and theoretical studies have revealed that different N-doped graphene (NGR) conformations can result in both p- and n-type characters depending on the bonding nature of N atoms (substitutional, pyridinic, pyrrolic, and nitrilic). To overcome this obstacle in achieving reliable graphene doping, we have carried out density functional theory calculations and explored the feasibility of converting p-type NGRs into n-type by introducing additional dopant candidates atoms (B, C, O, F, Al, Si, P, S, and Cl). Evaluating the relative formation energies of various binary-doped NGRs and the change in their electronic structure, we conclude that B and P atoms are promising candidates to achieve robust n-type NGRs. The origin of such p- to n-type change is analyzed based on the crystal orbital Hamiltonian population analysis. Implications of our findings in the context of electronic and energy device applications will be also discussed.

Graphene, a single layer of graphite, has raised extensive interest in a wide scientific community for its extraordinary thermal, mechanical, electrical and other properties [1,2]. However, because of zero-band gap of graphene, it is difficult to apply for electronic applications. To overcome this problem, chemical doping is one of way to opening grahene bandgap. According to experimental results, by changing doping concentration and doping time, it is possible to control work function of graphene. We can obtain results through raman spectroscopy, UPS, Sheet resistance. Moreover, electronic properties of doped graphene were studied by making field effect transistors. We were able to control the doping concentration, dirac point of graphene and work function of graphene by formng n-type, p-type doping materials. In this research, the chemicals of diazonium salts, viologen, etc. were used for extrinsic doping.

Graphene field-effect transistors (GFET) is one of candidates for future high speed electronic devices since graphene has unique electronic properties such as high Fermi velocity (vf=10^6 m/s) and carrier mobility ($15,000cm^2/V{\cdot}s$) [1]. Although the contact property between graphene and metals is a crucial element to design high performance electronic devices, it has not been clearly identified. Therefore, we need to understand characteristics of graphene/metal contact in the GFET. Recently, it is theoretically known that graphene on metal can be doped by presence of interface dipole layer induced by charge transfer [2]. It notes that doping type of graphene under metal is determined by difference of work function between graphene and metal. In this study, we present the GFET fabricated by contact metals having high work function (Pt, Ni) for p-doping and low work function (Ta, Cr) for n-doping. The results show that asymmetric conductance depends on work function of metal because the interfacial dipole is locally formed between metal electrodes and graphene. It induces p-n-p or n-p-n junction in the channel of the GFET when gate bias is applied. In addition, we confirm that charge transfer regions are differently affected by gate electric field along gate length.

그래핀은 $sp^2$ 결합으로 이루어진 한 겹의 탄소 물질이며, 그래핀 본래의 우수한 물성으로 인해 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그래핀의 높은 전기전도도와 전하이동도로 인해서 (광)전자 소자 물질로 주목받고 있다. 화학적 도핑 과정을 통해 n 형과 p 형의 그래핀이 형성 가능하며 이를 이용하여 다양한 구조의 소자 형성이 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 그래핀의 도핑 효과를 선택적으로 증대시키기 위해 유전영동 현상을 도입하였다. 주파수 10 kHz, $5V_{pp}$ (peak-to-peak voltage) 조건에서 유전 영동 현상을 이용하였을 때 금나노입자들이 전극 위치 주변으로 집중됨을 확인하였다. 그래핀의 도핑 효과를 라만 분광법과 전기적 물성 변화를 통하여 조사하였으며, 그래핀에 $AuCl_3$ 용액을 이용한 유전 영동 현상을 통하여, 그래핀 기반 소자의 국소적인 부분에 선택적으로 화학적 도핑이 가능함을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구는 그래핀 기반 소자와 interconnection 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined the synthesis of large area graphene and the change of its characteristics depending on the ratio of CH4/H2 by using the thermal CVD methods and performed the experiments to control the electron-hole conduction and Dirac-point of graphene by using chemical doping methods. Firstly, with regard to the characteristics of the large area graphene depending on the ratio of CH4/H2, hydrophobic characteristics of the graphene changed to hydrophilic characteristics as the ratio of CH4/H2 reduces. The angle of contact also increased to 78$^{\circ}$ from 58$^{\circ}$. According to the results of Raman spectroscopy showing the degree of defect, the ratio of I(D)/I(G) increases to 0.42% from 0.25% and the surface resistance also increased to 950 ${\Omega}$ from 750 ${\Omega}$/sq. As for the graphene synthesis at the high temperature of 1,000$^{\circ}$ by using CH4/H2 in a Cu-Foil, the possibility of graphene formation was determined as a function of the ratio of H2 included in the fixed quantity of CH4 as per specifications of every equipment. It was observed that the excessive amount of H2 prevented graphene from forming, as extra H-atoms and molecules activated the reaction to C-bond of graphene. Secondly, in the experiment for the electron-hole conduction and the Dirac-point of graphene using the chemical doping method, the shift of Dirac-point and the change in the electron-hole conduction were observed for both the N-type (PEI) and the P-type (Diazonium) dopings. The ID-VG results show that, for the N-type (PEI) doped graphene, Dirac-point shifted to the left (-voltage direction) by 90V at an hour and by 130 V at 2 hours respectively, compared to the pristine graphene. Carrier mobility was also reduced by 1,600 cm2/Vs (1 hour) and 1,100 cm2/Vs (2 hours), compared to the maximum hole mobility of the pristine graphene.

화학 기상 증착법에 의해 제작한 단층 그래핀을 300 nm $SiO_2$/Si와 석영기판 위에 전사한 후 도핑하기 위해 그래핀 표면에 $AuCl_3$ 용액의 농도를 1에서 10 mM까지 변화시키면서 스핀코팅 하였다. 도핑농도에 따른 그래핀의 특성을 여러 구조적, 광학적, 및 전기적 실험기법으로 분석한 결과, 도핑 농도가 증가함에 따라 그래핀의 p형 특성이 더욱 강해진다는 것을 라만 주파수/최고점 세기 비율, 면저항, 일함수, 및 디락점 등의 변화로 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 그래핀 전계효과 트랜지스터의 드레인 전류-게이트 전압 곡선 측정을 통해 처음으로 도핑농도의 증가에 따라 전하 이동도를 자세히 측정한 결과, 도핑농도가 증가할 때 전자의 이동도는 크게 감소한 것에 비해 정공의 이동도는 매우 적게 변화하였다. 이 결과는 $AuCl_3$가 그래핀의 p형 도핑 불순물로서 매우 우수하다는 것을 의미하여 향후 도핑된 그래핀의 소자활용에 있어 매우 유용할 것으로 전망된다.

Silicene, a 2D allotrope of silicon, is predicted to be a potential material for future transistor that might be compatible with present silicon fabrication technology. Similar to graphene, silicene exhibits the honeycomb lattice structure. Consequently, silicene is a semimetallic material, preventing its application as a field-effect transistor. Therefore, this work proposes the uniform doping bandgap engineering technique to obtain the n-type silicene nanosheet. By applying nearest neighbour tight-binding approach and parabolic band assumption, the analytical modelling equations for band structure, density of states, electrons and holes concentrations, intrinsic electrons velocity, and ideal ballistic current transport characteristics are computed. All simulations are done by using MATLAB. The results show that a bandgap of 0.66 eV has been induced in uniformly doped silicene with phosphorus (PSi₃NW) in the zigzag direction. Moreover, the relationships between intrinsic velocity to different temperatures and carrier concentration are further studied in this paper. The results show that the ballistic carrier velocity of PSi₃NW is independent on temperature within the degenerate regime. In addition, an ideal room temperature subthreshold swing of 60 mV/dec is extracted from ballistic current-voltage transfer characteristics. In conclusion, the PSi₃NW is a potential nanomaterial for future electronics applications, particularly in the digital switching applications.
